Welcome to the House of Loralei blog. Here you will find past sessions, photography trips, and even my artistic journey.
Lately I’ve been really looking deep into my work to find what it is that I truly love about being a portrait photographer. I suppose every Artist goes through this at one point or another. But when I look back over the work of this year, it is this image that hits the mark for...
Ivy is an extraordinaraly kind and generous person that is always looking to make others laugh while being completely humble about it all. She is truly the type of person that everyone feels blessed to have in their lives. I could go on and on about her generous heart and what an amazing Mom she...
I love photographing Headshots out on location! Sheryl called the studio looking for portraits of herself for her new website. She’s a nutrition coach and she needed some nice headshots that showed off her and her style. This is when the creativity starts to flow for me as a photographer. When I get to know...
As a portrait photographer, I love the feeling I get when that perfect photo moment happens—the lighting is magical, the background frames the shot just so, and the smiles and personality of the people I’m working with shine. There’s a knowing when that happens, and a little jolt of excitement shoots up my arms. Still,...

Recently I got to photograph the talented musician and singer, Sophia Marie Humbert of Anthem, Arizona. We did the photo shoot at the very cool Janey’s Coffeeshop in Cave Creek for this month’s issue of ImagesAZ magazine. It all started when I went to my daughter’s “Night of the Arts” at her school, Gavilan Peak....
I loved watching Jackie and her daughters go through this experience together on the day of their family portrait shoot! The fabulous girls from the Sparkle Bar came in and did all of their makeup for them to make them look and feel amazing before we started shooting. Once everyone was feeling great, we started...
It was truly a great honor of mine to meet and photograph Larry Fitzgerald. He’s a big deal here in Arizona, not only for his athletic prowess in football, but for his kind and philanthropic nature. We had the interview and photo session with him at the Whisper Rock Golf Club, which boasts some of...
To me, the Arizona desert is one of the most beautiful places in the world, so I knew it would be the perfect destination for the Johnson family’s session. I have had the wonderful privilege of handling the Johnson’s family portraits every year for the last decade, and it’s been one of my greatest joys...
